You go girl! You got this. This is how I started many years ago with maybe 4-5 plants. Then decided to grow my little jungle just 3 months ago growing through some personal stuff. But the fact that my 4-5 og plants are still with me and thriving, gave me the confidence to do it. I think I have over 50 now and growing! 🥰

And Chinese evergreen was one of my og plant 😁

Same my Chinese Evergreen was my first plant and she’s still thriving

Try a philodendron next; the care is pretty similar

#### Bri Denise replied on 2026-09-12

I have an ally philo already, 3 Chinese Evergreens , 3 bamboos , a Monstera , 4 succulents, a Black Jade, Iron Plant … Orchid and like 3 others I can’t think of
